Assassinations Joint work of Israel and Mojahedin Khalq

Anyone in Israel, the United States, or anywhere else hoping for a salubrious regime change in Iran would be foolish to have anything to do with the MEK/MKO/PMOI. Even more important than what is foolish is what is immoral. Terrorism denies the high ground to anyone who uses it, including the use of it in disagreements with Iran. It also hastens the slide through mutually reinforcing hostility into what may be a far more destructive form of violence (i.e., a war..

The threat is very real

Mujahadeen-e-Khalq─ is officially listed by the State Department as a “terrorist organization,” but politicians have been pushing to “de-list” them so MEK can be armed, trained, and sent into Iran, with open, rather than covert American support…This all smacks of hypocrisy, as our local activists had their homes raided, personal belongings confiscated, were served subpoenas to a Grand Jury, and are being investigated for “material support of terrorism”

Prof. Foote: MKO promoting hatred of Iran

He pointed out that Mujahedin-e Khalq aka MKO/MEK/PMOI is a useful tool for the Israelis “by promoting hatred of Iran, by telling lies about Iran, and by conducting terrorist operations in Iran.”“Israel can always deny any knowledge of or support for these activities,” he continued…Sheldon Foote said, “Most Americans do not even have passports. They have not visited Iran. It is easy for the MKO to lie about supporting democracy.”

Controversial west advocacy for Camp Ashraf

.. Although the Ashraf issue is separate from the issue of MEK’s status as a terrorist organization, MEK’s backers in the West have often used the conditions at the camp to garner sympathy for the group’s broader agenda in Washington and to argue that its continued listing as a terrorist group is the cause of its mistreatment… MEK’s [MKO/PMOI] current lobbying efforts were foreshadowed in a 1994 report by the U.S. State Department, which …

Who is MEK and why is the US funding terror?

It then seems that US support for MEK becomes all the more indefensible when one realizes it is for extraterritorial hegemony, not national security that America is sponsoring bonafide terrorists.As revealed in Seymour Hersh’s 2008 New Yorker article “Preparing the Battlefield,” not only has MEK aka MKO/PMOI been considered for their role as a possible proxy, but the US has already begun arming and financing them to wage war inside Iran

Smoking gun documents “Found” by US-backed MEK terror group

So the terrorist group which “found” the documents is funded by neoconservatives who want to overthrow Iran. What a coincidence!And as Gareth Porter notes in the above-linked article, the Mossad may have created the documents in the first place:There are some indications, moreover, that the MEK/MKO/PMOI obtained the documents not from an Iranian source but from Israel’s Mossad…

My day with a real Thrill Kill Cult: the MEK

Proponents of the invasion of Iraq often referred to the oppression of Iraq’s Kurds (and, less often, Shi’a) as an example of why Saddam Hussein should be deposed by force. Now, some of the same people, and their ideological brethren, extol the virtues of an organization[MKO/MEK/PMOI] with a leader (Maryam Rajavi) who is on record as instructing her followers to “Take the Kurds under your tanks”…

An alternative to war with Iran

Israel pursues its own interests with little or no regard for how its behavior will impact friend or foe. For example, it utilizes the MEK as a partner in many of its terror operations inside Iran, even though U.S. State Department officially designates the MEK as a terror group.This, of course, doesn’t stop the MEK and its well-paid domestic allies in the United States from pursuing an aggressive campaign to delist it as a terror group. Millions of dollars have been spent to further this goal, including enlisting prominent figures on both the Democratic and Republican sides ..

US and Israel use MEK to commit terrorism-by-proxy

“Because MEK is kind of their boys, their cutting edge in terms of getting inside Iran and carrying out these kinds of operations,”included Giraldi, .. a Mossad or CIA officer does not have the ability to go inside Iran and carry out an operation, concluding that they have acquired somebody else who can do it for them”and in this case there are some obvious candidates, MEK (Mujahedin-e Khalq, MKO) would be I think the most prominent.”
